OMGOSH- that LULU!!! She's a LULU alright! lol Your photographs are beautiful and sometimes that is the best art form ever. I am not much at it and don't even have a decent camera but you take lovely photos. Hope you have a great rest of the week. xo Diana

The camera has become my best friend, I MEAN IT! Oh Carol, I can tell you stories about how photography has changed my artistic direction. I still intend to make a book with my poetry, and photography is the niche I found to do so. What I've been loving is having a bouquet of flowers to enjoy in a vase, then as they wilt, to use them in other capacities, and get as much out of them in photos. I follow a young Japanese photographer on IG that makes the best flat flower photos. There's another way to use flowers!

The season of magic is upon us. Here in Minneapolis, it's still a tad cool, but yesterday was sunny and promising. Keep that camera battery charged!

So beautiful all your flower decoration around your lovely cottage I always enjoy your blog I'm the same this year not to creative my alegia is bad this year Have e happy Spring time Stop by my blog I love to see comments on my postHave blessing day XOIsora

Carol, I love looking at photos of your home! Styling flowers for photography is so much fun! I need to play with my big Canon camera again. I've gotten lazy and only use my phone now. What color of white did you use when you painted your walls? Everything really shows up nicely with your walls since you lightened them. Your home and photography are beautiful. -Sandy from Leminlanefreshrestyled

Carol we all change our creative directions from time to time and your photography is stunning. Your approach in retirement inspires us to seek the simple beauty found all around us and right now you are expressing yourself beautifully with photographing blooms and gracing your cottage with vignettes laced with natures beauty.xoxo

Hi Carol, each and every photo is an inspiration. I have found myself more into photography the last year and creating more artwork from it. I am loving this direction and your photo art is so inspiring. Have a great week ahead.
